Brigham Enterprises Inc. Golden Virginia Flake
(3.00)
D-series. A replacement for Light Flake from Dunhill.
Notes: This tobacco is part of Mr. B's (Brigham) "D-Series". Reminiscent of one of the world's top brands, this pipe tobacco is a perfect replacement for an established favourite. If you like the famous Dunhill blends, you will appreciate the all new Mr. B's D-Series. "Golden Virginia Flake" is Brigham's offering for Dunhill's "Light Flake". Due to French Canadian laws, the tobacco tin features both French and English. "Flocon Blond De Virginie" is simply "Golden Virginia Flake" in French.

Not really a substitute for Dunhill's Ligt Flake, IMHO. This tobacco is a bit too much flavoured. That flavouring detracts somewhat from the natural Virginia sweetness and natural leaf flavour of the Dunhill flake it is intended to substitute.
I just finished a tin of Dunhill Light Flake so that I can compare the two flakes. My most recent tin of this Mr. B. stuff, aged for a couple of years, is difficult to light right out of the tin, either folded or rubbed out. It does not burn as cleanly, nor is it as smooth as the Dunhill flake. With a smaller pipe, the smoke gets gurgly way too soon. The flake itself is sliced too thin for my liking. In summary, it was a let-down.
Sorry Brigham's, but only one to two stars, and no more. As for me, I will enjoy the last of my limited Dunhill stock and then move on to Gawith's FVF or Golden Glow for real Virginia flavour.

Quality tobacco that is slightly cased with chocolate. Off the tin it smells like Aged Burley Flake from Solani. Nice fig and raisin taste, easy to smoke no tongue bite. While supposed to replace Light Flake from Dunhill, I consider it a quality Virginia flake that deserves attention but lacking in the taste department of the former.
